The winner will receive a special parking spot, a personalized plaque in the lobby, and a cash prize of $100. A yearly winner will be chosen from the pool of quarterly winners. The yearly winner will receive a $500 prize.

PURPOSEFUL DAY

At Renaissance Senior Living of Annandale, we focus on providing "A Purposeful Day" for our residents. Our caring staff is trained to value each resident and to recognize the different histories, current desires, and needs. We recognize that memory loss effects everyone differently, and that is why we develop a special service plan for each resident. A Purposeful Day focuses of four types of non-drug therapy - Reminisce Therapy, Trusted Voice Therapy, Time and Place Therapy, and Music Therapy.

SimpleC

The SimpleC storyboard is a vital part of our resident's Purposeful Day. For our residents at Renaissance Senior Living of Annandale, the SimpleC Companion provides non-medication therapies, focusing on each resident's personal story. We work with families to select stories, pictures, interests, and record trusted voices to assist in memory stimulation and timely reminders for activities of daily living. Clinical trials show that Simple C can decrease agitation, wandering, incontinence, the need for certain medications and increase appetite, social interaction, sleep time and normal waking pattern among residents with dementia.

Live Well

We encourage our residents to "Live Well" at Renaissance Senior Living. We partner with each resident to provide the education, support and services he or she needs to help maintain, and many times improve, their health and wellbeing. We work with our residents to customize their "Live Well" service plan. They will find many opportunities to follow their individualized plan through social interaction, balanced nutritional choices, physical activity, and spiritual involvement. As each resident grows and is able to accomplish more, we will work with them to continually upgrade and change their service plan to suit their needs. As a result, they will grow stronger physically, mentally and spiritually.
